The spirit of Cuba and the legacy of classic jazz take the spotlight this month.
Marking a vibrant new addition to the world stage, The Sons of Buena Vista (The Sons of Buena Vista, Take 5 Music) continues the proud lineage of the Buena Vista Social Club®. Fronted by Grammy-winning vocalist Mario “Mayito” Rivera—revered as the “Mick Jagger of Cuba”—the ensemble bridges generations of Cuban artistry with infectious energy and heartfelt authenticity. Songs like “Here Come the Sons,” “Son Antillano,” and “Amor Eterno” showcase the ensemble’s mastery of son, rumba, and bolero, evoking Havana’s golden era while propelling it boldly forward.
Also now available, The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s Time OutTakes (Brubeck Editions) remains an indispensable archival discovery—unheard alternate takes from the 1959 Time Out sessions that changed jazz forever. Featuring Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, and Eugene Wright, these newly unearthed performances reveal the quartet’s chemistry in its purest form, illuminating the creative spark behind classics like “Blue Rondo à la Turk” and “Take Five.”
